Profile:
The twin brother of current Australian captain Steve, Mark Waugh is one of
the world's most elegant and gifted strokemakers. His game is characterised
by an ability to drive, cut, pull and loft the ball so effortlessly that it
can even make him look disdainful of the talents of bowlers at times. Waugh
made his name as a middle order player for New South Wales in the late
1980s, twice winning Sheffield Shield Cricketer of the Year titles as he
built and maintained an average in excess of fifty throughout his formative
years in the first class arena. Although he lived in the shadow of his more
famous brother for a number of seasons, progression to international cricket
was considered by many to be an inevitability; the only sour note when his
promotion eventually came (for the Fourth Test of the 1990-91 series against
England) was that it was at Steve's expense! Critics have taken issue with
Waugh's apparent loss of concentration at times and his capacity
to occasionally succumb to lazy-looking shots (a weakness on show most
evidently during his disastrous 1992-93 tour to Sri Lanka when he scored
four successive Test ducks), but it would be hard to find players more
difficult to contain when in full flight. To complement his batting skills,
he offers handy part-time bowling talents as an off spinner and a remarkable
penchant for effecting spectacular saves and catches; indeed, he has few
rivals who match his freakish brilliance in the field. Among many
highlights in his career, his association with his twin in a world record
partnership of 464 for the fifth wicket for New South Wales against Western
Australia in 1990-91; his sterling 138 on Test debut in Adelaide in 1990-91;
and his three commanding centuries as an opener at the 1996 World Cup
tournament, assume particular significance. The lowest moment, by contrast,
came in late 1998 when it became public knowledge that he and Australian
teammate Shane Warne had accepted money from an Indian bookmaker during a
tour of Sri Lanka four years earlier. (John Polack, July 2000)
